The Neighborhood: Welcome to Your Own Medicine (CBS, Monday, April 21, 2025)

Neighborhood Wars Key Art

CBS’s “The Neighborhood” returns this Monday with an episode that explores the delicate balance between neighborly ribbing and genuine care. In “Welcome to Your Own Medicine,” Dave suffers a minor mishap (or major, depending on who you ask) involving a basketball and a severely miscalculated dunk attempt. The result: an injury that leaves him at the mercy of none other than Calvin.

As Calvin nurses Dave back to health, expect plenty of humorous back-and-forth between the two neighbors, whose relationship is often defined by a playful antagonism. This temporary role reversal offers a chance for some unexpected bonding, or at least, a different kind of bickering.

Meanwhile, Gemma finds herself navigating the wilds of suburbia as she joins (or perhaps endures) a local mom group. The clash of personalities and parenting philosophies seems ripe for comedic fodder.

Series star Cedric the Entertainer directs this episode, written by Mark Brockwell & Matthew Keith. Check it out on CBS this Monday, April 21st at 8:00 PM ET/PT, or stream it later on Paramount+.
